Having previously sponsored numerous DreamHack events and competitions, most recently as a main sponsor of DreamHack Open, CORSAIR will greatly expand its sponsorship of DreamHack events, becoming the title sponsor of DreamHack’s Dota 2 activities through DreamLeague, DreamHack’s CS:GO arena championship series and the title sponsor of DreamHack Masters. The new sponsorships extend to naming rights, with DreamLeague now titled “CORSAIR DreamLeague” and DreamHack Masters now known as “CORSAIR DreamHack Masters”. CORSAIR will also partner with DreamHack on as-yet unannounced events and tournaments, with more details in the coming months.
